Trump Foundation ordered to stop fundraising by N.Y. attorney general’s office
- 8 years ago
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's charitable foundation has been ordered by New York's attorney general to stop fundraising in the state.
Prosecutors issued a "notice of violation" after determining the foundation was fundraising without being properly registered in the state.
The move comes after the Washington Post reported last week that the campaign lacked a required state certification that would allow it to request funding from the public.
Trump organized a veterans event after cancelling a primary debate appearance in January and collected $1.67 million through a website directing donations to the Trump Foundation.
